hether I’m using pencil or brush, I’m drawn to subtle colors. Atmospheric sunlit hues in soft tropical light. The colors of the Impressionists.

                                                                               
                                                                                 are glazed acrylic on hard gessoed panels. My
                                                                        choice of acrylic over oil is a deliberate one.  In the tropics,
                                                                          their fast drying quality, while making it difficult to blend,
                    a                                                    allows me to “draw” more accurately with my brush.
                                                                Starting from the lightest hue and working to the darkest, I glaze pure transparent color over each. It’s a lengthy process, but the end result is rich and vibrant. There are colors in the shadows.
